演繹生涯

其現場演奏與貝斯手Guy Whittaker、鼓手Tim Thornton合作 ,在最近三年里,Fink的現場演出超過了300次,並擔任過Zero 7 及Massive Attack的表演嘉賓。演出之外,Fink還為John Legend和 Amy Winehouse等音樂人創作歌曲,並作為優秀的混音師,為Elbow, Nina Simone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, 和Robert Belfour等音樂人的作品提供混音製作。而在此之前,與Roni Size, Portishead,和Massive Attack在同一個城市成長的Fink,曾作為一個Ninja Tune 的DJ,在全世界的酒吧里播放trip-hop和breaks。

詳細履歷

2006年Fink成為英國著名獨立唱片廠牌Ninja Tune旗下簽約的首位歌手/歌曲作者,並發行首張唱片《Biscuits For Breakfast 》。iDJ雜誌說道:“如果’Blue Lines’是關於X一代關於house派對,hip-hop和嗑藥的經歷,那么這張專輯就是千禧年的對應物。”

2007年發行的Distance And Time,是一張令Fink的樂迷遍布全球廣受好評的唱片。作為一個優秀的歌手和吉他彈奏者,他的影響力持續擴大。BBC音樂會的倫敦皇家阿爾伯特大廳,在紐約著名的卡內基大廳(他就在歌曲的創作者面前表演REM的‘The Apologist’),甚至是米蘭能容納八萬人的聖西羅球場,都有他演出的身影。正是Distance And Time 吸引了John Legend的注意力,邀請Fink和他一起創作了與Andre 3000 合唱的‘Green Light’和‘Set Me Free’,收錄在Legend的Evolver LP中。作為回報,John Legend為Fink的第三張專輯Sort Of A Revolution彈奏鋼琴,併合寫了兩首歌曲。
如前所述,Fink是MicroMu一直欣賞並喜歡的音樂人,經過和他的唱片公司 Ninja Tune的接觸之後,Ninja Tune方面也很欣賞MicroMu的運營模式。於是,Fink 即將成為第一位在不插店發行EP的外國音樂人,並且將於11月到北京和上海舉行兩場專場演出。
2009年Ninja Tune唱片發行了Fink第三張標準長度唱片,“Sort Of Revolution”。
2009年10月, Fink將在不插店推出最新EP。

Fink is the recording moniker of Finian Greenhall, who has made the unlikely musical journey from being an ambient techno trip-hop artist to a serious singer/songwriter in less than a decade. Born in Bristol, England, Greenhall was obsessed with guitar as a teenager, eagerly exploring the indie scene. Then he discovered raving, and the guitars went out the window as he immersed himself completely in ambient techno. Greenhall recorded an album of techno beats with Lee Jones (aka Hefner) that was eventually released under the name EVA by Kickin? Records in 1995. The record attracted the attention of Ninja Tune Records, which signed Greenhall as a trip-hop artist. Billing himself as Fink, Greenhall released a pair of EPs, 1997's Finkfunk and 1998's Front Side Blunt Side, on Ninja Tune's Ntune imprint, then delivered the full-length Fresh Produce in 2000. But Fink was undergoing a sea change, and had picked up the guitar again. By the time the folky and acoustic-based Biscuits for Breakfast was released (again on the Ntune label) in 2006, Fink had completed the transformation from electronica artist into a full-fledged singer/songwriter, a move that initially baffled his fan base.
